And this is why commercial social media and the overarching idea that violence is a good way to solve most problems are both bad ideas.

It says something that folks reach for that instead of learning how to be calm about such things and tend to be supported for such behaviour instead of told it's not a good idea, even worse that they never take such things down once posted, often.

All part of the patriarchal, oversharing that the internet loves.

Imagine chickening out of the opportunity to punch a billionaire
- Do they drop coins when you punch them? Like in a videogame?
seems like kind of a publicity stunt by the CEO guy?
- Maybe, but sounds like he was just having fun with it. I don't think anyone should be a billionaire, but they're just people.
- Yeah, at first it read like he was waiting outside to jump him. Then it sounded like he showed up to the fight at a time and place. Turns out it was only place and for internet points.
